An American classic, pecan pie is quite sweet in flavour. This is unsurprising, as American baking recipes tend to be sweeter than their European equivalents.

This pecan pie is easy to make, with a homemade pastry crust, soft filling and a rich, nutty flavour. This nuttiness is enhanced by the soft maple syrup, brown sugar and butter filling.

You can make a pecan pie a day in advance, but it's better to store it at room temperature rather than in the fridge. To keep a pecan pie for longer, freeze it for up to 3 months.

Making the pastry – 15 minutes + waiting time

Mix the flour with the salt, and gradually rub in the softened butter (in pieces). Knead into a sandy dough.

Beat the egg with 80g sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and add this mixture to the dough using a fork.

Knead until the pastry comes together as a ball. Wrap it in cling film and leave it to rest in the fridge for about an hour.

Dust the work surface and rolling pin with flour, and roll out the pastry until it fits your tart tin. Grease the tart tin with butter and line it with the pastry.

Trim the excess pastry, and prick holes in the base with a fork.

Finishing the pecan pie – 1 hour

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Coarsely chop ¾ of the pecans and sprinkle them over the pie base.

Melt 120g butter and mix it with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 100g brown sugar, 150g maple syrup, a pinch of salt and 3 eggs.

Pour the mixture over the chopped pecans, then place the whole pecans on top.

Bake the pecan pie for around 45 minutes until nicely golden brown; the exact baking time will depend on your oven. The pecan pie is best when it is still a little warm. Enjoy!

Tips!

Can I substitute the maple syrup?

Sometimes corn syrup is used instead of maple syrup in American pecan pie recipes. While maple syrup is a natural product, corn syrup is a commercially produced sweetener.

In the UK, golden syrup makes a good substitute for corn syrup.

Can I freeze a pecan pie?

Yes. Bake the pecan pie until golden brown, then freeze it for up to 3 months. Let it defrost gently and, if necessary, warm the pie a little in the oven so the pecan pie looks freshly baked again.
